Know before you buy
No, the Alden 2-Piece Serving Set is hand wash only. To maintain the finish and integrity of the hand-forged stainless steel, we recommend washing them by hand and drying them promptly.
The square handles are designed for a comfortable, secure grip. While they offer a distinct contemporary look, they are ergonomic enough to provide steady control when portioning out salads or side dishes.
Because they are crafted from stainless steel, they are durable and smooth. However, as with any metal utensil, you should use a gentle touch when serving from delicate glass or finished wooden bowls to avoid surface marks.
The set features a hand-forged finish, which gives the metal a unique, artisanal texture. This process ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike, providing a sophisticated, high-end look for your table.
Yes, the servers are designed to be substantial and functional. Their durable stainless steel construction makes them well-suited for handling heavier foods like pasta, roasted vegetables, or hearty grain salads.
